A scoring system was devised by which the amount of material obtained in each needle stick was estimated. The mean scorelstick for fine‐needle biopsy with aspiration was 2. 7; for biopsy without aspiration, it was 2. 9. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant difference in the amount of cellular material obtained by the two techniques. It is concluded that needle biopsy without aspiration may be performed routinely with good results.Read More
